Pretty good, actually. ...Well, apart from when the interviewer seems accidentally to introduce LC!'s guitarist as Slash. Whatever. Getting excited. And curious/anxious. More curious about how I'll react to the record than anything else. I spoke in the random thread and have made many references to how much different-for-me music I've been taking in, this year, and it couldn't be much further from the LC!iverse. I wonder how it'll sit with me. All I know, so far, is that I've not listened to one of the LPs, from start to finish, for months (though my adoration hasn't actually waned...just been busy with other shiz), and that, love them as I do (and I do), I have also failed to spend too much time with the two new songs.

You are a stronger man than I, sir. By the time Youngster came out, thanks to Sticking Fingers Into Sockets, I'd already listened to "You! Me! Dancing!" 76 times on iTunes, alone. I remember this because it was terrifying, and because it happened in just a few months. I mean, it was on the EP first, but there you go. I feared burning out, as well, but then I listened to it again and again and again and again, once the record came out. One has to measure the number of iTunes listens with powers of ten, I think, at this point.

I've been keeping the LC! chastity belt locked myself actually, having not even listened to "There Are Listed Buildings" yet. But that's sort of negated by the ridiculous amount of spins I've given "The Sea..." since I love it so.
